The burning of a million pages.

Hundreds of books have just been burnt because of one ruler. Emperor Qin, who believes that Legalism is what we should be taught. Confucianism has now been banned. All books and teachings of it are no longer available. That is why Qin had decided to burn hundreds of books except those on Legalism were to be destroyed. Scholars that did not pass in their books were burried alive. Legalism  is the teaching tecnique of being strict and harsh. There are punishments and awards in Legalism. Most of the punishments are beyond what you can imagine.

We interviewed some people that were witnesses in what happened. Han Kan Rou is the first person we talked to. We asked him how he feels about Qin doing this and is he believes that Confucianism should be banned and Legalism should be taught. His response was " I always though Qin was doing the right things. He is a good ruler and I think that everybody should obey what he says and never disagree with him. The burning of the books was just to make sure that nobody will have access to these books. There is nothing wrong with that. And the burning of the scholars that refused was only because those people refused and disobeyed him. That was their fauly and they deserved it."

People obviously have different opinions. Most people would agree with what he did was wrong but some people like Han Kan Rou believe in the strict teachings of Legalism and obey everything that Qin says. The next  person we interviewed was King Rong You. This person has a very different opinion on Qin's decisions. She said "I strongly disagree with Qin's decisions to burn boos and bury alive people! No person should be buried alive for believing in something different. Qin had no right to just take important things from people. Those books were valuable to many people and they didn't deserve that. Especially when they refused to give him the book, they were just buried alive. No person has the right to do that and Qin is the one who should be punished for what he has done."

 The book burning and burying of the scholars is over now and as long as all of you obey Qin hopefully our country will be back at peace
